Live across the nation.
Let's unleash the talent.
The first 12 quarterfinalists
perform with their
sights set on Las Vegas.
That was sensational.
That is without any doubt the
performance of the night.
That brought it all to the stage.
Fun.
Deal or no deal?
Deal.
Thank you.
Very, very sexy.
My inner kitty cat is purring.
Sally, you're a dirty girl.
Justin bieber just called
and wants his hair back.
Mr. clean just called.
Don't your votes are in and
the first four semifinalists
are chosen.
Whose dream will live on?
Kung fu heroes, Christina and
Ali, airpocalypse, the
hot shot tap dancers.
Sally cohn, rng, fighting
gravity and Nathaniel kenyon.
This is "america's got talent
the results."
Live from Hollywood, it's
"America's got talent - the
results."
Now, here is your host, Nick Cannon!
Hollywood!
How are you guys doing?
Welcome to "america's got
talent - the results."
We're live here in Hollywood.
Last night was crazy.
Our first 12 quarterfinalists
gave everything they had.
And tonight we find out who has
made it into the semifinals.
There are some serious nervous
people backstage right now.
How is it going, guys?
All right.
They look like they're okay now.
By the end of the show only
four will be celebrating for
the other eight the dream
will come to an end.
Going to get tense in there.
Coming up one of America's
hottest singers is here with
her band, selena Gomez.
And the stars of the smash hit
Broadway musical "rock of ages"
will be blazing the stage.
Your votes have decided who is
taking the first three
places in the next round.
The fourth act will be
chosen by our judges.
Piers Morgan.
Sharon osbourne.
And Howie mandel.
Miss Sharon, you look
lovely tonight as usual.
Thank you.
How do you think everybody
did last night?
You know what?
You take into consideration
that these people have never
played to millions of viewers before.
I think they did exceptionally well.
I agree.
Now, Howie, you said that
performing live would be, you
know, very difficult for our acts.
How do you think they handled it?
To be honest with you, I have
mixed emotions, I really
do.
The first one is excitement
because I truly believe that
last night, I won't mention it,
I saw an act that I believe is
going to make it all
the way to the end.
I believe I saw that.
And the other emotion I have is
shame but that has nothing
to do with the show.
All right.
Well, that brings me
to my next question.
Piers, last night was
Howie's first live show.
How well do you think he did?
Oh, that's a
very I never
thought I would say this but
I actually quite miss David
Hasselhoff.
The buzzer is not working tonight.
Oh.
It's crunch time.
Let's go to the greenroom.
Let's find out who is taking
the first spot in our next
round.
Please join me here on the
stage, Nathaniel kenyon,
airpocalypse and Sally cohn.
I'm worried about you
and mostly about me.
I think we're beginning to
see in you something
resembling a pop star.
You've got the x factor.
Thank you.
He was not at my best vocally
because I was a little sick.
I hope America sees the talent
I have behind that and
they vote me through.
Amazing how much you can do
with absolutely nothing.
It's fun.
It was by far the best
performance we've ever had.
What could be better than
moving on to the next round and
bringing on an even bigger show?
I think people will remember you.
There are millions of dancers,
a lot of singers but there
is only one Sally cohn.
My inner kitty cat is purring.
I nailed it.
I didn't think I would
nail it, but I did.
Oh my God.
I just can't believe it.
So we have Nathaniel kenyon,
airpocalypse and Sally
cohn.
One of the acts will be staying
in Hollywood and one will be
going to the next round and
one will be going home.
Piers, do you know who is going
home and who is going through?
You could not get three more
different acts than this.
No show in the world where you
would get three acts like that.
I don't think you have a clue, either.
I don't have a clue,
the audience doesn't.
It will be exciting.
Any three of you could go through.
Interesting.
All right, America, did you
use your votes wisely?
Let's find out what you've done.
America has voted.
The act going into the
semifinals and moving one step
closer to that $1 million and
the headline show in Las Vegas is.
Nathaniel kenyon!
Wow.
Nathaniel.
Congratulations, brother.
You are now in the semifinals.
You have to tell me, I mean,
you had a tough night last
night.
You were a little sick, nerves.
Is this a huge relief?
This is an enormous relief.
So now I'm ready to come back
not sick and give the best
vocal performance of my life.
Sharon, did America get it right?
Oh, America got it right.
They always get it right.
All right, well, we'll see
you in the semifinals.
Let's hear it one more
time for Nathaniel kenyon.
We have our first semifinalist.
We have three spots left.
Who is going to take them?
It will get tense after the
break and live on stage it's
selena Gomez and the scene.
We'll be right back.
But I will recover.
No problem at all.
I know that other opportunities
will come to me and so
I'm not really worried.
In some ways it's a relief.
We are back.
This is "america's got talent
the results."
Nathaniel kenyon is already
through to the semifinals and
we've got three spots left.
Has your favorite made it?
Those results are coming
up in just a minute.
We'll have the amazing selena
Gomez and the scene performing live.
But first, let's check out what
was popping in the lounge
last night after the show.
Where is the after party?
At the hotel.
Do you like girls?
You don't like girls, right?
He likes one in rng.
You like one in rng?
The air groupies outside?
All models and bottles.
You performed a fabulous
song by my wife.
The best rendition of our
song I think I've heard.
I didn't know moriah is your wife.
This is the Orville lounge.
And just a message to pirs Morgan.
My wife said if she sees you in
the streets dash your ***
that's all I'm saying.
That's what they told me to tell you.
We'll find out who is taking
the next spot in the
semifinals shortly.
First, here is a real treat
with her single round and round
from her album "a year without
rain" give it up for selena
Gomez and the scene!
Love me or love me not.
I'm staring at the clock.
And then I watch them drop.
Love me or love me not,
I'm feeling not so close.
Selena Gomez and the scene.
Great job, guys.
How are you doing?
So, miss selena, you became a
big star at a very early age
and we have a lot of young
contestants on this show.
Do you have any advice for them?
I would say make sure
you're passionate about it.
Go for what you
don't take no for an answer.
Listen to those around you.
Wise words, thank you.
After the break we'll find out
who is taking the next two
spots in the semifinals.
Two acts will be total joy,
four others will be coming
to the end of the road.
It's going to be tough.
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up one more time.
Make some noise for selena
Gomez and the scene!
Welcome back to "America's
got talent - the results."
We're live in Hollywood.
Hollywood, make some noise,
Nathaniel kenyon is already
are into the semifinals.
Our remaining acts are hoping
you voted them through.
For three of them, the wait is over.
Please join me on stage, Nick
pike, kung fu heroes and
fighting gravity.
In my mind it's too much.
I think you'll find America
is loving what I do.
I wouldn't.
This is the most dangerous
thing you've ever said.
The judges can say whatever
they like from now on.
Maybe they're not used to
talent from this perspective.
I have to be very
careful with you, love.
If I say the wrong word
you might kill me.
I didn't find it as
enthralling as your audition.
You are a very good young man.
Power rangers with no shirts
and eye shadow.
We did our best and 100%.
The judges may not have loved
it but I hope America does.
Again, you blew me away.
I think America is going to love this.
You guys are phenomenal.
Cirque du soleil move over.
It felt our our best
performance by far.
We don't want to go home.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Here are Nick pike, kung fu
heroes and fighting gravity.
One of them with the lights of Vegas.
For the other two the lights of home.
Sharon, how do you think
these three did last night?
Well, I think that fighting
gravity were absolutely mind
blowing.
I thought they were incredible.
I think that kung fu heroes did
better at your audition stages
but I know you have it in you
to come back and do better
again.
And Nick, you know, he
set himself on fire.
We've seen it all before and
once you set yourself on fire
where else are you going to go?
Well, this is it.
Let's find out what blew
your minds last night.
America has voted.
The second act going into the
semifinals and moving one step
closer to that $1 million and
the headline show in Las Vegas is.
Fighting gravity!
Wow, congratulations, guys.
Nick pike, come here real fast, man.
You've had quite a temper.
I'll call you a hot head literally.
I really would like to apologize.
I took it to heart.
The routine went perfectly as
far as what we planned to do.
I really take on what you did
say looking back on the tape
after watching it live.
I'm hot headed.
I got angry and I apologize.
I respect what you said.
I think you and piers should
hug, kiss and make up.
Go hug him.
That's all right.
Oh.
Piers.
I don't want to hug him.
You're a good sport.
Nick pike, ladies and
gentlemen, take care.
Now the gentleman going to the
next round, give it up
for fighting gravity!
You made it.
How does it feel?
It is an absolute honor to be here.
America gave us that chance and
we took it and we won't let you
down, we promise you that.
Howie, is this the right result?
Absolutely.
I believe you guys have a real
good shot to go all the way.
You really do.
Wow, all right.
We'll see you guys in the semifinals.
Let's hear it one more
time for fighting gravity.
Thank you, guys.
Take it easy.
All right.
Now we have two acts
through to the semifinals.
Nathaniel kenyon and fighting gravity.
Who is taking the third spot?
Please join me on stage
Christina and Ali.
Maricar and the hot shot tap dancers.
Every time I see you
two you make me smile.
You are so beautiful and it
is so inspirational and just
seeing you together and hearing
the sounds of your voice, I love you.
I still just can't believe it.
I just went out there and
performed in front of millions
of people.
It was amazing.
It was so much fun.
That's me?
Looks like you to me.
I can watch you literally forever.
Beautiful.
I also admire the art.
You have made art very, very sexy.
I have a lot more.
It was all a bit fake.
To do a tap dance you
have to go for it.
I like the blend of the
classic tap with the current
music.
I think it with a make
tapping very current.
We've nailed it.
We took the nail, put it right
down there, took the
hammer and nailed it.
We've got so much more
ready to give to America.
We're ready.
Three acts.
This has to be nerve-wracking
for all of them.
You each are also as piers
said the last time you were
asked, they're all so
different, you know?
I think that each of you gave
it your all and ultimately it's
like an entertainment pawnshop.
I hate this that we have to
give up something of value to go on.
So, you know, I wish we could
keep you all but two of you are
going and I know you gave it your all.
I don't know what enough is.
We're about to find out, right?
Yes, we are.
One of these acts is about
to hear some great news.
Let's see who will be jumping for joy.
America has voted.
The third act going into the
semifinals and moving one step
closer to $1 million and the
headline show in Las Vegas is:
Christina and Ali.
Congratulations, Christina and Ali.
Congratulations so much.
I know this has been quite the
emotional experience
for the both of you.
How good does it feel?
It feels amazing.
We did this for our sister who
passed away a year ago this
month and we're so excited that
we have this opportunity.
Piers, what advice do you
have for them going into
the next round?
You won the hearts of America.
You have an incredibly
inspiring story behind your
performance but now it
gets serious for you.
There are brilliant singers
this year, the best I can ever
remember any stage
of this competition.
So if you want to really win
you'll have to go and practice,
practice, practice and get
your singing to a level where
everybody else's hearts
are, which is high, okay?
Good luck.
All right.
So you guys are now joining
Nathaniel kenyon and fighting
gravity in the semifinals.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's
hear it one more time for
Christina and Ali.
So, three acts, they're through.
After the break we'll find out
who is taking the last spot
in the next round and the
five-time tony-nominated
Broadway show "rock of ages"
will be rocking the stage.
We'll be right back.
"America's got talent
- the results."
I am here live in the greenroom
with the last three
remaining acts tonight.
All fighting for that last
spot in the semifinals.
I know they want it so bad.
We have rng, Paul safy
junior and future funk.
So, I mean, you have to tell
me, what is going through
your mind right now?
Well, all of us have been
lots of friends and
I'm just so excited.
You're so excited.
You said you made a lot of friends.
You guys were all hugging
and everything like that.
Are you wishing that everybody
could go through, right?
Yes.
All right.
Well, ladies, how bad
do you guys want it?
We want this so bad.
It is our lives.
We've been doing this
for so long and
I don't want to go home but
this week was so big with
talent.
Everybody in the show last
night was so spectacular so I
think it's anybody's game.
All right.
Well, we'll find out who will
take the fourth and
final spot shortly.
But right now let's get into
some classic 1980s rock from
the hit Broadway musical and
they have a very, very special guest.
Give it up for the "rock of ages".
Come on, make some noise!
I want to rock.
Oh, yeah.
I want to rock.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
from twisted sister!
Come on, y'all know this one.
"Rock of ages", baby.
In a lonely world.
She took a midnight train going
raised in south Detroit.
He took the midnight train
come on!
Down the boulevard.
They're shadows, searching in
just to find emotion.
Wow!
Rock of ages.
That was amazing.
Dee snider, rock of ages.
Now, constantine
you've been on a big talent
show before so you know exactly
what the contestants
are going through.
Do you have any advice for them?
Just say go for it, man.
Go out here, enjoy this
experience, it's going to
change your life and enjoy the
time on the show and just
go with your heart, man.
Great advice.
Thanks.
Now rock of ages is playing on
Broadway and in Toronto and it
starts its national tour in August.
Please give it up one more time
for constantine, emmy
padgett and Dee snider.
Let's hear it for "rock of ages".
Coming up.
It's crunch time for our
last three contestants.
There is one spot left
in the semifinals.
Going to get intense
right after the break.
Welcome back to "America's
got talent - the results."
So far Nathaniel kenyon,
fighting gravity and Christina
and Ali are through to the semifinals.
Now we're down to our last three acts.
Only one of them will make it
into the next round and this
time our judges will
decide who that will be.
Please come and join me rng,
Paul safy junior and future
funk.
America is going to love
you and you have talent.
Absolutely amazing.
Absolutely crazy.
Thank you.
America is the future of us both.
Cry me a river.
.
You have a great tone in your
voice, that classic Vegas
feel to your voice.
It's a little cheesy.
I like cheese.
I left it all out there and
now it's a waiting game.
You're perfectly good dancers.
Now we're looking for amazing dancers.
What you did tonight was spot on.
I think it's perfect for your age.
You danced really well.
I loved the whole theme of it.
It was well done.
We'll be really disappointed
what piers said but we hope
America disagrees.
Our last three acts we have
future funk, Paul safy
junior and rng.
One of you is about to take a
step closer to the $1 million.
The other two are about to go home.
Sharon, what are your thoughts
when you see these three
standing here?
Well, first I feel really bad
for Paul because he stood
next to probably the cutest
contestant on the show and he's
right in the middle here.
But you know what?
They each deserve.
Are you saying Paul's not cute?
No, but each of you, you know,
each act deserves to be
here and, you know, now
it's make or break it time.
It is make or break it time.
As I said earlier the judges
are going to decide who
takes the final spot in the
semifinals.
But they have to choose
between just two acts.
So first we need to send one home.
Based on your votes, America,
let's find out who that is.
America has voted.
The act leaving the competition
and going home is:
Paul safy junior.
Paul, I mean, how did you
enjoy this experience?
It's been a great experience, right?
The biggest stage I've ever been on.
Opportunity of a lifetime and
it is definitely not the end for me.
Ladies and gentlemen, give
it up one more time for
Paul safy junior.
Thank you very much.
Let me get in between you two.
Rng.
Do you think you guys did
enough to make it through?
I think we absolutely did enough.
I mean, we've tried our hardest
and we just want to stay.
All right.
Seems like future funk.
Why do you think the
judge should pick you?
I think should pick us
because we're different from
all the dancers.
We do comedy, act, dance,
we do the whole package.
Do you feel the same way?
Yep.
All right.
We have two acts both desperate
for the fourth spot.
Man, rng, future funk.
They came in fourth and
fifth in the audience vote.
Who stays and who goes
will be up to you judges.
A tough call.
We'll give you guys a couple of
minutes to think it over.
We'll have the decision
when we return.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to "America's
got talent - the results."
We're live in Hollywood and
you've already put through
Nathaniel kenyon, fighting
gravity and Christina and Ali.
They're going to the semifinals
and there is just one place
left and we have two acts
who want it really bad.
I feel like I'm standing in
between the stars of tomorrow.
I mean, rng stands for rated
next generation and we have the
future of the funk in future funk.
It's up to the judges.
Good luck to the both of you.
Judges, the decision is yours.
Piers.
Who do you want to put
through to the next round?
This is a very difficult call
because you have two very
talented young acts.
The girls are definitely in my
view better technical dancers.
The boys, they're funny.
They are entertaining.
Something different than
just technical dancing.
So in the end I thought
about it carefully.
My vote is going to go with the
act that I personally enjoy
most and that is future funk.
Sharon.
Nick, it's like asking me do
I like peaches or strawberries,
which one do you like?
I love them both.
So because of technical
ability and I think they're
ahead of the game on technical
side, it has to be rng.
Howie, it's up to you.
We've got 30 seconds
left on television.
Howie, 16 seconds.
I have little girls and I
love you and you dance and I
really loved the routine.
The show is going off, who?
You guys are so funny and adorable.
You're the whole ackage.
